MPM’s Ten Most Popular Recipes for 2016

HAPPY 2017! What an outstanding year 2016 was for Meal Planning Maven and ME! I continued to experiment with different types of ingredients and new preparation techniques which definitely kept me on my toes.

 
I had a blast “meeting” so many of my Facebook fans (now 37,500+!) as well as food bloggers from all over the world, many who have become close personal friends. Participation in our nightly “What’s for Dinner at Your House” chats continue to grow and each night I’m amazed at the variety of easy and delicious meals our gang comes up with! You can find us on my Facebook page Sunday-Friday beginning at 8:30 PM EST and Saturdays at 7:30 PM EST. Hope to ceeya there! Also my Pinterest, Yummly and Twitter followers are steadily climbing and hope you decide to join me as well.
 
As I mentioned in last year’s wrap-up post, I’m still not certain yet which direction my blog will take. However I do know I must continue to work harder to create better balance in my life. While I ABSOLUTEY ADORE blogging, I also crave more time to spend working with my clients, enjoying being with family and friends as well as exploring what makes ME happy at this stage of my life. (Stay tuned as exciting projects are in store!) My favorite mantra “I can do anything, but I can’t do everything” (author unknown) are words I live by daily and will continue to guide my choices throughout this coming year and beyond.
 
I do know this…whatever comes out of my kitchen in 2017 promises to be fun, YUM, made with whole food ingredients and won’t wreak havoc with your food budget. Lastly, please consider popping into my posts by leaving me a few kind words as hearing from you always makes my day! Thank you for listening and for sticking by Meal Planning Maven and ME!
